Celebrate Christmas, or Else!

Lew Rockwell's reasoned take on the contrived "War on Christmas", with a look at past Puritanical madness: http://tinyurl.com/7d2wn

"The politics of the evangelicals in this country have developed in a very strange direction, from opposing government intervention in the 1970s and 80s to today, where they seem to believe the operating principle of the world’s worst regimes: all that is not forbidden is mandatory. But a mandatory Christmas celebration is no Christmas at all."
